As a leading provider of clean air technology, Howorth Air Technology Group has over 150 years’ experience of supplying specialist filtration and containment products, services and solutions to the healthcare and pharmaceutical industries.
Incorporating Howorth Pharma, Howorth Medical and Westbury Filtermation, the group’s operations encompass expert product design, engineering, manufacture and retail, with offices situated in both UK and USA territories.
As an organisation built around accommodating the latest advances in technology, Howorth Group’s diverse and expansive operations made it obvious that the right IT systems had the potential to transform the way its employees communicated, and intranet implementation provided the best fit for their need to share information and connect with staff across the group.
Late-2008 saw the group tender for potential contractors, and Orchid Software were delighted with the opportunity to be part of the process, confident that Orchidnet PRO provided the balance of functionality and flexibility that Howorth Group needed to take their business forward.
Through their use of the Orchidnet demonstration site, Howorth Group were able to experience the software in action and assess exactly how Orchidnet would accommodate their business requirements; discussions with Orchid Software staff proved a huge success, to the extent that Orchidnet PRO was chosen for the Howorth Air Technology Group intranet in early 2009.
Project initiation and implementation proved to be a straightforward process, and the Howorth Group intranet went live earlier this year.
Gillian Booth, Marketing Executive for Howorth Group, said "Howorth’s project team was extremely impressed with the Orchidnet software from the outset. It seemed that they had thought of everything you could possibly need with an intranet, with its extensive applications and flexibility; it really was a clear winner and not a difficult choice to make.
"The team at Orchidsoft have proven to be very efficient at dealing with our implementation and the roll out of the system here at Howorth has really been stress free. We have a huge sense of satisfaction and we wish to thank Orchidnet for helping us achieve this."
Ajay Sood, Managing Director of Orchid Software, said “It is a pleasure to work with Howorth Air Technology Group, and we are absolutely delighted that our software was seen to offer the best mix of technology and functionality by a business at the forefront of such a specialist sector.”
